I feel seen, also how do you actually break out of this cycle, it’s been decades. 💀
Medication lol.
While I think medication is a valid option, Im not sure I would use it as the first option, unless I had a licensed therapist/psychiatrist give a diagnosis and medication recommendation. It’s entirely possible I just need a change of routine or environment, but everyone does has varying situations and medications is one option that I think (I don’t have any sources haha) proves effective!
My dude, you have a physical condition that alters how your brain functions and don’t want to see a doctor.
You’re downplaying how serious your condition is. Go see a doctor. There’s a reason why medication rocks for 3/4 people. It fixes your body just like a cast would for a broken arm.
children with ADHD have fewer symptoms after finding the correct stimulant medication and dosage. Stimulants are considered controlled substances, which means they have the potential to be improperly used or cause substance use disorders.
Some people find it to be a huge help to start their day immediately with a scheduled activity like a class at a gym. 6am spin class or crossfit or some shit.
Forces you to get up and get your ass moving first thing and if you can ride the endorphins out of the gym and into a bunch of other productive activities you will probably get more done by lunch than any other whole day.
That seems like it makes sense. Which probably stems from me not having a regular sleep cycle with some of the Twitch streaming I do at night. Trying to balance work/family/life along with that is pretty difficult to get a good sleep schedule. Maybe I’ll try to do some workouts or exercises before work if I don’t feel dead in the morning.
It needs to be a regimented “I now do this regardless” activity. If you put in the qualifier of “If I dont feel dead” then you never will, because who feels fantastic getting up at 5:00 to go to the gym?
Getting older and more mature has definitely helped with this. For example, I completely cut out the part where I promise myself I’m going to change the pattern.
fuck
This is funny but also like really really deeply sad
Name of your sex tape
Me before Adderall
This is some people after Adderall
But actually most people before Adderall.
It’s getting really bad because now it’s ADHD mixed with massive depression because of the cycle I feel stuck in, the meds aren’t helping me do anything but stay awake and have more energy. I’m about to lose everything I care for in life because I just can’t shake my mind out of this shit.
This is being a normal human being at the weekend. This isn’t ADHD specific.
There’s always one of you people who has to chime in like this. Yes, neurotypicals can be like this. But for a person with ADHD it’s not a choice, it’s far more intense, and it’s debilitating when you’re aware of it and can’t force yourself to do otherwise.
It’s not a choice for ‘neurotypicals’ either. This is simply a result of certain personality traits, notably, being low in Conscientiousness (Big Five), high in Neuroticism and Openness. It’s a (very common) type of person.
I’m all for the categorisation of ADHD but the amount of Zoomer Google Self Diagnosis that just makes shit up is absurd.
A neurotypical is far more in control of their actions in this situation and it’s absolutely a choice. They don’t have to deal with hyperfocus and executive dysfunction the way someone with ADHD does. This isn’t some self diagnosis bullshit, and it’s reductive at best and actively harmful at worst to suggest we don’t suffer from it or that because neurotypicals can exhibit similar behaviours, that means we’re just making things up. I’m diagnosed and most people here are too.
You aren’t neurotypical, so how would you know?
